Crispy Pork Bibimbap

Making your own bibimbap is super easy and incredibly tasty, especially when made with this crispy pork - use your slow cooker or Instant Pot!

ingredients

– 3 pound pork shoulder/butt – 1 tbsp smoked sea salt, pink salt will work, too – 5 garlic cloves – 1 1/2 tsp sesame oil, divided – 1 tbsp rice vinegar, divided – 2 cups baby bok choy, bottoms chopped off and leaves rinsed – 1 cup broccoli slaw – 1 cup red cabbage, chopped into strips – 1/4 cup kimchi – 1 tbsp butter – 2 eggs – Salt and pepper – Sriracha, chopped green onion, and sesame seeds for garnish – Cooked white rice

Cut pork into 1/2 pound (ish) chunks. Season liberally with salt. Cut slits into the meat and insert the garlic cloves into the slits.

If using a slow cooker, add pork to the slow cooker and cook on low for 10-12 hours. If using an Instant Pot, add 1/2 cup water to the Instant Pot followed by the pork. Cook on the manual setting for 90 minutes. Once finished, use the quick release.

While the pork is cooking, assemble the veggies. Add a third of the sesame oil and rice vinegar to a nonstick skillet. Add the baby bok choy and cook for 4-5 minutes, until softened. Set aside. Repeat with broccoli slaw and red cabbage.

Remove pork from slow cooker or Instant Pot and place on a cutting board. Shred with two forks. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add the shredded pork. Let cook without touching it for 2 minutes to let the bottom get crispy. Stir the pork and repeat until it's mostly crispy.

Start assembling the bowls. Rice on the bottom, pork and veggies on top. You won't use all the pork (leftovers!).

Melt the butter in the skillet you cooked the veggies in. Fry the eggs in the butter and season with salt and pepper. Keep the yolks runny.
